    Hiking

    The "Valley of Stones" in Wiltshire is a stretch of Fyfield Down National Nature Reserve, renowned for its concentration of Sarsen stones. These huge, naturally-occurring sandstone boulders were formed millions of years ago and later scattered across the chalk landscape.

    Locally, they are known as the "Grey Wethers" because from a distance, they resemble a flock of sheep. Significantly, this valley was the primary quarry source for the massive sarsen stones used to construct the megalithic monuments at Avebury and possibly Stonehenge.
